integrate Dell OpenManage wif W2k3

[Diopter]

Everytimes install Dell server, it requires 2 cd :

one is DellOpenManage n another one is the OS itself..

So i will have to put in the OpenManage CD 1st cause drivers for the respective hardware must be installed prior to installation of the instrumentation. OpenManage will inspect all the drivers n hardware component first.. then only the server installation can begin.

My question is.. if i wan to integrate this 2 cd into 1 cd.. is it possible?

If i use nlite, can it be done? or i just nid to do some motification on the WINNT.sif and then copy the driver folder to the cd?

Have you considered burning to DVD? It would take care of space problem with cheap cost of DVD writer.

Without SP1 and other HotFixes, you almost certainly can have both on the same CD. But because of SP1 and HotFixes, this is all I can I put on a CD. You may be able to fit more depend on what you choose.
